Chen Lihua blushed when she heard him say 'he wanted to relieve himself', because she understood what he meant.

So she hurriedly wore her trousers before running off to the bathroom.

​​

Seeing her run away in fright, Liu Longwei smiled to himself. Then he heaved a sigh of relief before looking at the bulge. Shaking his head pitifully, he condemned himself for seeking for trouble for no just course.

As he was in discomfort, he had no choice than to bear it till Chen Lihua came out, in which he rubbed her head affectionately before running into the bathroom to settle his problem.

Chen Lihua stared at his back for a while before walking towards her bed to lay down.

Liu Longwei took some time to settle himself.

And by the time he came out, he was met with the sound asleep Chen Lihua.

He could only blame himself for taking too long. As there was no use 'crying over split milk', Liu Longwei lifted the duvet and slipped into it. Next, he gathered Chen Lihua into his embrace.

But Chen Lihua who was too deep into sleep, flinched when she felt her back against something warm.

'It may be as a result of her not being used to embracing someone or anything while sleeping'. Liu Longwei concluded to himself before letting her go.

He then looked at her head and saw that there was no pillow supporting it, and the said pillow was not even in sight, he then leaned in to her side to check if the pillow had fallen off.

And true to his thoughts, he saw the pillow sprawled on the floor. He then shook his head and stretched forth his hand to pick it up before placing it on his side, since the bed was wide enough.

He looked at Chen Lihua again, and couldn't help but to think of where and how she got her sleeping habit from.

The reason for that thought is this, if you look at Chen Lihua now, her back faced the ceiling, while her stomach was on the bed, and her head was sideways, with her hands supporting it. But not facing Liu Longwei.

Seeing that sleeping position, Liu Longwei wondered if her breasts were not hurting her, and so he made a mental note to ask her about it the next morning.

So this couple slept through the night without touching each other till the next morning.

Chen Lihua's alarm rang by 05:00 AM in the morning. As she was still enjoying her sleep, she frowned when the alarm continued to ring, and so with eyes still shut, she started strectching her hands to find a pillow, in other to cover ears with it.

But she was unfortunate that she didn't touch the pillow, but instead touched something hard.

Instead of opening her eyes to see what she was touching or move the searching hand towards another direction, she continued to touch that thing.

Trying to find out the thing she was casually touching, she poked it with her fingers. And still not satisfied with the result, she pressed and rubbed it.

From the result she got, she felt that something was wrong, and so she opened her eyes to see the nature of the thing she had been touching since. When she opened her eyes to check out what she had been touching, she was met with a pair of eyes staring directly at her.

As she was'nt expecting that in the least, she sat up on the bed immediately, attempting to scream. But before she could scream, Liu Longwei covered her mouth with one of his hands to stop her.

Still with his hand over her mouth, Liu Longwei used the other hand to turn her shoulder so that she could see his face clearly. And when he was sure she wasn't going to scream, he removed his hands and said with a smile, "Good morning".

Chen Lihua returned the greetings to him with an awkward look on her face, "Good morning".

"If I didn't stop you earlier, am sure you would have brought the house down with your voice.

What happened, did you forget we agreed to spend the night together". Liu Longwei teased.

Chen Lihua switched off her alarm before responding to him with a serious face, "I wasn't expecting you to be awake. The alarm woke me, and as I wasn't ready to stand up, I wanted to use the pillow to cover my ears for the mean time. But I didn't expect to grab you, and right when I opened my eyes to see what it was, I was caught red-handed by you".

Liu Longwei chulcked softly and his eyes softened as well. The he rubbed her head affectionately and changed the topic.

"Why do you sleep with you stomach on the bed, does your chest not hurt you at all?". He asked concernedly.

Chen Lihua was taken aback by the question, as she didn't expect that one day somebody would ask her that. But nevertheless, she chose to answer him truthfully as she felt that there was nothing to hide.

"I sleep like that as a form of protection to myself. It's a psychological problem".

Liu Longwei was surprised at her answer, and so wanting to find out more, he asked, "How?, what happened".

"After my ex-boyfriend tried to rape me, I came up with this method as I felt that if someone wants to rape me or do something, he would have to first of all, turn me over. And by then, I would be alerted already". Chen Lihua explained with her eyes free from any emotion apart from a little hurt that passed by.

"Silly girl". Liu Longwei said as he brought her into his embrace. "No Wonder you didn't allow me to touch you after you've slept already".

Still in his embrace, Chen Lihua answered, "I did it unconsciously. If am aware you're the one touching or holding me in my sleep, then I wouldn't bother. But if am not aware, I wouldn't let anyone touch me".

Liu Longwei then pecked her forehead, "That incident really caused you a trauma, Sorry".

"You don't have to apologize". Chen Lihua raised her head to look at him with a smile on her face.
